Aparte de la exposición permanente, hay salas dedicadas a exposiciones temporales, como el reciente “Photographic Portrait Prize 2007” en el cual participan jóvenes fotógrafos creativos que están en los más alto de la fotografía de retrato contemporánea. Es un premio que se celebra todos los años y siempre se exponen las obras en una de las salas del museo. También tiene lugar actualmente la exposición “Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008”, que reúne 150 retratos que han aparecido en la revista de mismo nombre desde su creación hasta nuestros días. El museo también cuenta con tienda de souvenirs, librería de arte y restaurante.
